Add jump to forum dropdown

Thanks for the tip. This is actually something I wanted to add.

Michelle

Listed on master to do list.

Michelle

Will revisit this in 2.x.

Michelle

Just a note that this will be added as soon as the jump menu code is added to CTools.

Michelle

Postponing until after 2.0.

Setting active. This isn't a difficult one and will likely get into 2.x.

This one will create (ctools) drop down menu for D7... probably will work on D6, too with minor changes.

advanced_forum.module:

/**
 * Create a drop down list of forum hierarchy
 */
function advanced_forum_forum_jump($tid=0) {
  global $user;
  ctools_include('jump-menu');
  $select = array();
  $options = array();
  $vid = variable_get('forum_nav_vocabulary', 0);
  if ($tid > 0) {
    $forum_tree = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
    foreach ($forum_tree as $forum) {
      $select[url("forum/" . $forum->tid)] = str_repeat("-", $forum->depth) . $forum->name;
    }
  }
  else {
    // nothing
  }

  $options['choose'] = t("- Select a forum -");

  // Create and return the jump menu.
  $form = drupal_get_form('ctools_jump_menu', $select, $options);
  return drupal_render($form);
}

theme.inc:

function advanced_forum_preprocess_views_view__advanced_forum_topic_list(&$variables) {
...
    $variables['forum_tools'] = advanced_forum_forum_tools($tid);
    $variables['forum_jump'] = advanced_forum_forum_jump($tid);
...
}

advanced-forum.naked.topic-list-outer-view.tpl

<?php if (!empty($forum_tools)): ?>
  <div class="forum-jump"><?php print $forum_jump; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

I was going to make a view for this... Your way likely performs better but a view is more customizable by the end user. Dunno which is better for this... Just throwing that out there for now.

This one slipped through the cracks. Moving this to D7 and postponing until there is a 3.x branch open for new features.

Any chance for this jump to forum menu to be added to 6.x-2.x Michelle?
I'm planning to review this code and create a patch for the latest dev.

That's up to mcdruid. I help out in the queue but I haven't committed in a long time and am not likely to have any time to do so in the foreseeable future.

OK. Thank you for the instant response.

I've tested jump to forum code provided by @troky, changed it a bit and it works like a charm for 6.x-2.x now.
Here's the the code that works for me:
advanced_forum.module

/**
 * Create a drop down list of forum hierarchy
 */
function advanced_forum_forum_jump($tid=0) {
  global $user;
  $select = array();
  $options = array();
  $vid = variable_get('forum_nav_vocabulary', 0);
  if ($tid > 0) {
    $forum_tree = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
    foreach ($forum_tree as $forum) {
      $select[url("forum/" . $forum->tid)] = str_repeat("•", $forum->depth) ." ". $forum->name;
    }
  }
  else {
    // nothing
  }

  $options['choose'] = t("- Select a forum -");

  // Create and return the jump menu.
  ctools_include('jump-menu');
  return drupal_get_form('ctools_jump_menu', $select, $options);
}

theme.inc

function advanced_forum_preprocess_views_view__advanced_forum_topic_list(&$variables) {
...
    $variables['forum_tools'] = advanced_forum_forum_tools($tid);
    $variables['forum_jump'] = advanced_forum_forum_jump($tid);
...
}

advanced-forum.naked.topic-list-outer-view.tpl

<?php if (!empty($forum_jump)): ?>
  <div class="forum-jump"><?php print $forum_jump; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

I can make a patch for this but with one of my patches still pending I need to know should I make this one over a clean 6.x-2.x-dev install or not.

I hate to make you go thru all the work of setting up a separate install for this patch. Just hang on for a bit. If mcdruid doesn't get to it first, I will try and see if I can take care of these before Drupalcon. My trouble is I don't have anything set up for working on AF right now since all my coding time goes to Artesian. So it's not a 2 minute commit for me like it would be if I was actively working on AF.

OK. I understand. Thank you Michelle.

@MasterChief: There is a follow button at the top of the issue you can use for that.

Thanks Michelle, i didn't see it !

#9 committed to 7.x-2.x-dev

@Ingumsky i tried your patch in #15, it works very well, but just one thing to modify.

You need to replace this

$select[url("forum/" . $forum->tid)] = str_repeat("•", $forum->depth) ." ". $forum->name;

by :

$select[url("forum/" . $forum->tid)] = str_repeat("-", $forum->depth) ." ". $forum->name;

The special char make the forum name dissapear in my case :(
